Chocolate and tamarillo clafoutis

This is both decadent but not too rich – if that’s possible. Clafoutis (cla-foo-tee) is a French dessert, basically a baked batter, and it’s one of those super-easy to throw together desserts that is always impressive! Plus, it's gluten-free

Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Butter a 24cm oven-proof dish.
2.Peel the tamarillos (use a serrated knife) and slice each into 3-4 thick rounds. Spread these in the bottom of the greased dish.
3.In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream and sugar.
4.Stir in the almond, cornflour and sifted cocoa, mixing to a smooth batter.
5.Pour the batter over the back of a spoon and into the oven-proof dish – doing it this way means it doesn’t displace the fruit pieces.
6.Bake for 35 minutes or until the middle is only just wobbly.
7.Serve warm with whipped cream, if desired.
  • Get creative and try it with black Doris plums or morello cherries – chocolate loves them both!
